Teacher's Notes Topic: SSM - Pythag, sim triangles
Pythagoras(a) Use Pythagoras' theorem to explain why triangle A must be right-
angled.
(b) Triangle A is enlarged to make triangle B.Use similar triangles to show
that d = 9.2cm
How many ways can you do this?
(c) The diagram shows the Earth and two other planets.Planet P is 6.9 x 107 km from
Earth.Planet Q is 9.2 x 107 km from Earth.
How far is Planet P from Planet Q ?Give your answer in standard form.
